Profession reacts to Darzi report

Eye care professional bodies and service providers have responded to the publication of the Darzi review, which examined the state of the NHS.  

Lord Ara Darzi’s report highlighted that the NHS was in ‘serious trouble’ and public satisfaction was now at its lowest ever.   

Among the recommendations was the need to simplify and innovate care delivery by embracing multidisciplinary models of care that brought together primary, community and mental health services.  

The Federation of Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians (Fodo) noted the health secretary West Streeting’s comments in response to the report about the need to make ‘three big shifts.’
